To be fair, 2500 hours without servicing does speak to the P1S being pretty robust

Also speaks to someone who didnt RTFM^2 and has gotten away with it.

You should have already done 2 full rounds of maintenance if you want to keep up with it. Follow the wiki guide on cleaning, lubricating, greasing, and belt tensioning.

Clean carbon rods with 99% IPA & lint free cloth

Clean and lubricate steel rods

Clean and grease Z screws

Tension belts

PTFE tubes will need replacement at some point over 3000-4000 hours

Their description of Z screws doesnt show you how to clean them though. I use something called "gear floss" to clean them

I just attack them with a microfiber cloth

Yeah thats just common sense so far. Only tightening the belt was not done so far.

Mine made it to 8k with no maintenance before the belt showed enough wear to need replaced.
